KEY BENEFITS BLUE POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
- Full control of the power generation with an exceptional user interface
- Instant feedback on system status, alterations and failure scenarios
- Simple change of system setup, such as start sequence and load thresholds
- Fully integrated in X-CONNECT®
- Supports smart circuit breakers – to reduce switchboard space and installation work
SAFE AND FUEL-EFFICIENT OPERATIONS WITH OUR POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
BLUE Power Management System is a modern, scalable and flexible power management system for small to large, simple or complex vessels. The system enables the operator to optimize the vessel’s power production in terms of safety and fuel consumption. The PMS is an integrated and seamless part of the
X-CONNECT® platform, accessible from the same user-friendly interface as other X-CONNECT® products.
The system can perform simple tasks such as start/stop commands for diesel generators, automatic start-up sequences, automatic start/stop thresholds, opening and closing circuit breakers, as well as more advanced and crucial tasks such as prevention and handling of blackouts.
BLUE PMS supports system segmentation to meet the different requirements from customers and class societies. Topology and hardware flexibility minimize the system’s installation space, hardware usage and location.
FEATURES
When the ship propulsion system is powered by battery or other alternative power sources, an Energy Management System is required. X-CONNECT® provides integrated Energy Management System or remote control of 3rd party EMS. Read more about BLUE EMS here.
BLUE PMS provides load sharing between diesel generators based on compensated droop philosophy.
Tripping consumers with low priority to avoid blackout
Prepares generator to manage equipment with heavy loads before they are actually activated, to prevent blackouts. Example of such consumers are bow thrusters, fire fighting pumps etc.
Status information from all components in the system, such as circuit breakers, bus-ties and generators. The system also features pre-warning handling, such as start/stop errors and breaker status
Monitoring of active and reactive load
Preventing operator to create an unintended blackout. System detects partial and total blackout, and automatically recovers power generation.
User can force the system to set a desired limited number of generators to be connected to the power grid.
Manually start/stop generators
Start sequences according to user input
Load dependent start/stop order in accordance with load conditions and user input
Automatic transitions between power plant configurations for different vessel operations
